Air Force Band plans holiday concert Dec. 2

NORTH BERWICK — The traditional Holiday Concert by the Air Force Band of Liberty will be held Sunday, December 2, at 3 pm at Noble High School on Route 9 in North Berwick, Maine.

The concert is again being co-sponsored by Foster’s Daily Democrat and Noble High School.

The Band of Liberty, stationed at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts, has presented their annual Holiday Concert in this area for more than 20 years with rare exception.

This will be the band’s last Holiday Concert season. Budget cuts by the US Air Force have the band scheduled to disband in June 2013.

Free tickets for the concert will be available beginning November 12 at the Foster’s Daily Democrat office at 150 Venture Drive in Dover. Tickets can also be requested by mail, using a special mail order coupon found in advertisements promoting the concert, published several times each week in Foster’s Daily Democrat as well as in The Rochester Times, The Sanford News and Showcase magazine.

Tickets requested by mail must include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

The free concert is always a “sold out” event so it is important to get tickets early. The concert is unique every year and features more than 30 of the nation’s best military musicians and singers. Conducting is Lt. David Alpar.

Anyone with a ticket will be assured a seat until 15 minutes before the 3 pm showtime. Any seats not filled at that time will be made available to non-ticketholders.

The Noble High School auditorium is one of the region’s finest performing arts stages, featuring comfortable seating, exceptional acoustics and lighting.
